Description
This book offers a friendly presentation of the fundamental principles and practices of modern digital design. Unlike any other book in
this field, transistor-level implementations are also included, which allow the readers to gain a solid understanding of a circuit's
real potential and limitations, and to develop a realistic perspective on the practical design of actual integrated circuits. Coverage
includes the largest selection available of digital circuits in all categories (combinational, sequential, logical, or arithmetic). Coverage
also includes detailed digital design techniques, with a thorough discussion on state-machine modeling for the analysis and design of
complex sequential systems. Key technologies used in modern circuits are also described, including Bipolar, MOS, ROM/RAM, and CPLD/FPGA
chips, as well as codes and techniques used in data storage and transmission. Designs are illustrated by means of complete, realistic
applications using VHDL, where the complete code, comments and simulation results are included.
Audience:
Textbook for courses in Digital Design, Digital Logic, Digital Electronics, VLSI, and VHDL; Industry practitioners in digital electronics.
